ARRIVAL

McDreamy suiting up for pelvic exam.











I dont really want to go into full detail on how things went down. But here is the short version of the story...
Boden was born. Hurt like hell!
Now for those who like to read.....
My water broke Saturday morning. That was weird. Good thing I was already on the porcelin god. Went to the hospital at about 11:00am. Things were going good. Ended up realizing that I had nothing to prove to the world and got an epidural at about a 5. Progressing good until I hit a crazy 8. Then things got stuck. Doc wanted to get the little one out so we proceeded to the C-Section land. They thought it would be funny if they didn't numb me all the way. I guess things were a little on the slow side that night so they needed a little excitement. Almost passed out from the pain. Nate seen me in ways that he does when he is gutting an elk. Little Bo got stuck in my pelvis so they needed to make the incision double the size (wonderful, not that I ever would wear a bikini, but I would still like to have the option). He was pryed out of the me at 10:07pm, they decided that listening to me use all my curse words for the year wasn't fun anymore, so they put me out of my misery after the little one was out and then sewed me back up. Never really got to see the babe until about 9am the next morning. Anyways, he is here now and things are good.
He is a really good baby. Doesn't really cry much, has been sleeping pretty good and he's a cutie. He loves to sleep with his hands above his head and doesn't like to be bound up in blankets. I love the kid to death. Having him wasn't enough, we ended up moving the day after I got home from the hospital. We have been doing that for the past couple of weeks. If you know anyone looking for a good starter home, ours is for sale. Would like to sale it soon so we don't have to keep making two house payments.
I just want to thank everyone for all the great gifts from the showers, the help moving, and the love and support that we have had. Seriously, it means alot to us! Especially you mom!!

He is a cutie! The labor and especially delivery sound HORRIBLE! Such a long day of labor to have to have a c-section! Bummer! So glad everything is okay now! Get me your new address so I can mail something for the new Harker babe!

That sucks you had to have a c-section! But, you got a very cute little guy out of it. Give me a call sometime when things have wound down a little bit!

Jenna said...

It's about time you posted pics - I told Nick that holding him last saturday was a bad bad idea - now I want mine and I'm antsy. :) He is such a sweet little guy. I'm sorry the delivery sucked so bad. Second times better.... I swear. :)

What a cutie Danica! Congratulations. I'm glad that you're doing ok. Sounds like it was ruff. He's adorable!

Ryann said...

Wow, what a delivery! Makes you want another one, right? :-) He is SUPER cute Danica. Really, you and Nate made a good looking child if I do say so myself! I'm glad that all is well and good luck with selling the house. I will let anyone know, in case they are looking.
